How so? The less expensive one will give you enough warning to slow down to the speed limit. With instant on, you might not even get a warning.
Why speed anyway? How much time do you make up? The acutal time saved with speed a decent amount is fairly small. On a 25 mile trip, you'd have to go 10 over the whole way to save a whoping 4 minutes. Unless you are doin like 20 over all the time, it just seems silly.

and yeah i agree saving a min or two not really worth. mine was for a 2000 mile trip and that 10-70 over that i was doing cut off a good bit of time mine even saved me once.
